The OECD Environment, Safety and Health Programme takes actions to develop tools and relevant guidance to identify endocrine disrupting chemicals for the protection of human health and the environment. Based on scientific works and research efforts, standardised test methods can be adopted by OECD countries to detect and characterise hazards posed by endocrine disrupting chemicals.

The OECD Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) ensure the generation of high quality and reliable test data related to the safety of industrial chemical substances and preparations. The principles have been created in the context of harmonising testing procedures for the Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD).
